You now have responsibility for a nine year old young lady that is extremely right brained and passionate about drawing. She has been drawing pretty seriously for two years or so. We’ve lost our kitchen island because she always has it loaded with art supplies. We recently found a local artist to teach her every two weeks but when I saw your course today I knew she would love it. We purchased an annual membership and look forward to seeing what she gains. You have such a calming manner of speaking and teaching without intimidation. Thank you so much.

[@iamaletha9946]

This is AMAZINGLY Realistic ❤

[@teodygaspar]

A realistic still base on basic...recall how you done in shades and casting shadows. It meticulously done but worth the time you spent. Good Sir

[@rickb6029]

A beautiful result with extreme detail. I guess the paper is toned brighter than 50% gray, about the 2nd from the top on your gray scale. It looks like you have vertical shades on the window to the left as your primary light source. Thanks for sharing.

amazing! It's something I really wanted to paint. Thank you.

[@dianecharest8365]

Nice. Thank you. I'll have to try this next.

[@GrowingDownUnder]

What helped me draw was understanding light, there's a cool principle where ever there is light there will always be 3 shades. 1. Highlight 2. Midtones 3. Shadow Everything a person draws should have at least 3 shades, for example most people just draw a black cat a plain black. But a black cat has many different shades which it may take some time training your eyes to see the highlights because we subconsciously ignore it. If you take a photo and upload it onto photoshop you can adjust the shadows and it makes everything easier to see. Tattoo artists take a real photo and use photoshop to turn it into a stencil, that's how they get such realistic looking tattoos

[@francesverschoyle9994]

Fabulous work

[@marthasmith3742]

Wow beautiful

[@moonram2569]

Beautiful !! wanted to know why u r blending the white charcoal with the graphite. Aren't the lighter areas kept separate from the darker areas, separated by the tone of the paper which is the mid tone ? Do u use a spray fixative to prevent smudging ? Thanks.

[@enjoymenggambar6214]

Genius 👍👍

[@ginettemelody1035]

very good teacher, most valuable lesson.thank you. Please, do you use a fixative after the drawing is finished? Blessings.
